The Lincoln Daily Star. '
'The initial numlter of the ajrfove
named paper made its appearaiyc last
Thursday evening with an ife that
was most creditable indeed. This is
called p. K. Thompson's paper, from
the fact that he was the prime mover
in the enterprise, and that he is presi
dent of the company establishing the
same. The Star presents a very hand
some appearance, and the issue before
the writer contains sixteen pages w ith
seven columns tothe page. While the
Journal does not have any use for the
polities of the Star, it must acknow
ledge that it is a paper well worthy of
the support of the republican party of
the state of Nebraska. A great many
of its party friends have long since le
come disgusted with the Lincoln Jour
nal and its manner of "whipping in"
those who would not conform to its
wishes. The Journal has had every
thing its own way in Lincoln, and has
lieeome quite a rich corporation by
charging exoribant prices for state
printing, almost liking to robbing the
tax payers- The people will be glad
of the establishment of the Star, on
account of one thing, if no other. It
will have a tendency to put a cur
the Journal s reckless manner oi ro
bing the state in charges, simply be
cause it was permitted todoso by the
in authority. The Ihiily Star is backed
by a st rong syndicate, headed by I).
K. Thorn pson, and it is the belief of
many of the leaders of the republican
party, that in the course of time it
will sueced in eliminating the Journal
which has become an eyesore to those
who desire to become candidates on
the republican state ticket, and
haven't the where with to fee the Jour
nal from the start, for Its influence.

The many friends of Jacob Vallery,
not only of the city of Plattsmouth,

regret to learn that his eyesight has
faiW-J him entirely, and that since last
Tuesday he has lieen totally blind, so
much so that lie is unable to discern
the largest object, or even see the
movement of anything that is passed
forwards and backwards close to the
eyes. This is indeed an unfortunate
condition in which to be placed, and
the Journal hopes that his sight may
lie restored to him. Cncle Jake

endeavor to condole liiui in his un
fortunate condition. It is said that
his sight left him quite suddeuly, and
without the least apprehension.

Cass County's Exhibit at Wasington.'
The Sunday World-Herald in speak
ing of the fruit sent to Washington
from Nebraska, has the following to j
say regarding the apples sent from
this county:
"The train when it left Omaha, con
sisted of nine sleepers and a baggage
car. In the latter two-thirds of the
space was taken up hy a splendid ex
hibit of Nebraska fruitsand other pro
ducts which, properly labeled, will be
placed on exhibition at the capital.
The principal portion of this exhibit
was collected by II. C. McMaken of
Plat t smout h, a nd consist s of ri ft j'-t h ree
baskets of apples, potatoes and grapes.
In this collection are thirty-three
rarities of apples and two of potatoes.
The fruit is the finest that could be
gotten together in Cass county. Many
of the apples are fourteen inches in
circumference, while many of the po
tatoes weigh twenty-four ounce?. Ten
basketsof Jonathan apples, taken from
the poor farm of Cass county, are to
be presented to President Roosevelt.
With thisexhihit is a large photograph
of an apple tree from which forty-two
baskets of apples were picked this
vear. The tree is in the Cass count v
poor farm orchard."

TOM SAYLES DEAD.
Drops Dead From a Stroke of Ap
oplexy at Grand Island.
Tuesday morning the Journal re
ceived a telegram from the Daily
Independent of (I rand Island, stating
that Tom Sayles had dropped dead on
the streets of that city, and desiring
information regarding him. Accord
ing lo the account of his death ltelow,
taken from the Omaha World-Herald,
the dispatch was received at this otV.ce
very mmhi after his death. He is a
brother of Win. Sayles. living south
of riattsmouth, and from what the
latter stated to a reorter of the Jour
nal, Tom left here one week ago last
Tuesday. Up to the time of his de
parture for the west he had for some
time been making his home with his
brother William, who also says that he
enlisted for t he Spanish-American war
in Missouri, while the dispatch to the
World-Herald states otherwise. Fol
lowing is the dispatch to the World
Herald, which gives more light upon
the matter, with the exception of
what part of country he enlisted:
tJrand Island, Neb., Oct. 7 About 8
o'clock this morning a stranger, walk
ing from the Koehler hotel to Third
street droppod dead in front of the
Klinge saloon. Dr. Sutherland, whose
otlices are not a block distant, was
called and pronounced it apoplexy.
The man came in on a stock train over
the Union Pacific from Cheyenne last
evening and stated that he was on his
way to Omaha. Papers on his person
indicate that he was Charles Selles, or
Savies, and that he was a member of
the Fifth volunteer infantry of Ohio,
enlisted at Cleveland in 1818, being
honorably discharged in 11M)1. It is
stated that he has a brother residing
in Cass county and efforts are being
made to si-cure word from the latter
if t his statement, made by t he deceased
is true. The man was about 38 years
of age. liy occupation he appears to
have lieen a railroad conductor. Other
paiers and a meal ticket indicate that
he has been at work at (iuernsey,
Wyoming, and had also, some years
ago, worked in the south.
Wm. Sayles departed Tuesday night
for Grand Island, and will probably
return this evening with the body of
his brother.
Recklessly Managed.
If there ever was a recklessly
managed institution in the state of
Nebraska that one is t he Lincoln In
sane Asylum. iLon Smith who was
i sent from th'J county a few weeks
age, was in that institution just four
days when he made his-escape. - Cass
county is entitled to better treatment
at the hands of t he management of
that institution, than it is receiving.
Hut perhaps there are many other
counties who could say the same, but
think there i.s no use to kick as long
as that Institution is controlled by a
republican administration. It i.s a
shame and a scandal to tne people or
e state that the institution is per
mitted to be run by such a reckless
out tit . There was no cause for
v -
Smith's es
the nuhoi
escape: ana
more than that

Such is the condition of affairs in Ne
braska under republican rule. "Turn
i the rascals out!" should be the battle
cry from now on till the close of the
polls on the night of November 4th.
Say, Mr. Preacher.
Written for tbe .Journal.
Kev. Husche a Methodist preacher
in the northern part of Hamilton
county, a few Sundays ago, held up to
his people one Mickey, instead of
Christ, and told them what a grand
bank president, and what a grand
record he had made. And no doubt,
he may have told them what a lovely
saint he would make on the throne in
the state house. Say, Mr. Preacher,
the next time you come before the
people, 3Tou might take for your text:
"And Judas, also who betrayed Him,
stood with them, and then hold up
this man Mickey before them as
treasurer of Polk county; and then
call up the expert accountant who
examined the records made by Trea
er Mickey. Now, Judas had a clean
record before he betrayed Christ, but.
say Mr. Preacher, this man Mickey
may also have had a clean record be
fore he became treasurer of Polk
county. And, gay, Mr. Preacher,
Hartley may have had a clean record
before he became treasurer of tbe
state of Nebraska. Say, Mr. Preacher.
there was also acertain superintendent
of one of the insane asylums who is
another of vour beloved saints, and say,

Float Representative.
The float convention for Otoe and
Cass counties have placed before t he
people of the two counties Thos. K.
Pannele, of this city, a young man of
ncessent energy and enterprise. A
gentleman of sterling qualities, and
Otoe and Cass counties can depend
upon him as a man who will represent
t he whole people, and not use his in
fluence while representing them to
further his o w r v it e rests to their
detriment. Tom Uarmele is a' pro
duction of Cass county, born and rear
ed here, where he has been for years
identified in the business circles not
only of Cass county, but throughout
Southeast Nebraska.; He is just the
man the people want,' and if 'they will
do their duty on the 4th day of No
vember they will have a represntative
of w hich they will feci proud.
For Commissioner.
The democrats of Cass county in
convention assembled, it appears, made
no mistake in the nomination of W. B.
Banning, of Liberty precinct. Mr.
Banning is a citizen of Union, where
le is engaged in the farm implement
business, and in which community his
friends are legion. He is a gentleman
whose business qualit ies will compare
favorably with any man in the county,
and a citizen who will look well to the
interests of the tax payers, not only of
his own district but also of the entire
county. He stands high, not only in
the section of where he resides, but by
everyone who knows him. He is just
the man for the position, and the
Journal believes that with a
"long pull, a strong :ind a pull alto
gether," his friends. will land him into

Wilson,N the pastor of Mt. Zion
(colored ) church of this city, appears
to be troubled over the manner in
which he was treated while going to
Richmond, Virginia, on church busi
ness a few weeks ago by a Chesapeake
& Ohio railroad conductor, who treated
him the same as they usually treat
negroes in the south. He was made to
take his place in a coach carried on
all trains for their use, when told to
take that car he objected, but linally
he was' threatened with ejectment
and vent in the '"colored" car. Now,
he has brought suit against the rail
road company for $100,000, a pretty
nign price, tne souinern rauroaus
are governed by the laws of their
states, and the best thing to, do when
he goes south again, is to conform
with laws of these states, or walk.
He is no better than other people of
his color who do so.
He Learned a Great Truth.
It is said of John Wesley that he once
said to Mistress Wesley: "Why do you
tell that child the same thingoverand

once telling Is not enough." It is for
